A lot of great things came out of 1957, the Chevy Bel air, Chevy Corvette, and Gumby. Although Gumby is far from being a car, his bendable body would allow you to form him into one.
Made of green rubber with no other features except his eyes, mouth and a nose, Gumby is embedded with wire that allows him to be posed for the stop-motion animation that made him famous.
The clay-mation cartoon featured Gumby and his friends, Pokey his orange horse, Prickle a yellow dinosaur, Goo a blue bird and Denali a woolly mammoth. They would get into all sorts of adventures against their enemies the Blockheads and win out in the end in true heroic fashion.
Although Gumby is in vintage condition with his paint faded and some marks upon his body, he still bends and as the picture below shows, he can still pick up women!

Hey, pretty funny! Do you remember Eddie Murphy, on Saturday Night Live, doing I’m Gumby Dammit!?
